Celebrate 20 Years!
Professional, Educational & Cultural Exchanges Build A More Connected, Just and Peaceful World

Dear Friends:
 
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of World Partnerships! Click on the cover page (below) and explore our retrospective report on the impact our professional and educational exchange programs have had in the Tampa Bay region.

Nearly every day for two decades, we have been “Bringing the World to Tampa Bay”.  What does that mean?
  • 5,300+ professional and educational exchange visitors from 194 countries.
  • Over $30 million in local economic impact.
  • National and international recognition.
  • Thousands of global connections for the Tampa Bay region.
  • Worldwide media exposure.
  • Priceless cross-cultural experiences.

​Thousands of “New Generation” leaders know our country through their experience here with all of us. When you welcome these young leaders into your office, into your home, into your classrooms, and into your lives, you are serving your country in a very personal, and important, way. You have changed minds, and you have warmed hearts. These are the “world partnerships” of World Partnerships.
​

Thank you for your continued support. Let's create even more “World Partnerships” together in the future!

​Secretary of State Blinken's Remarks On The Power of Citizen Diplomacy
at the 60th Anniversary Celebration of the Global Ties U.S. Network

World Partnerships' national membership organization, Global Ties U.S., celebrated its 60th anniversary at our March 2021 virtual annual meeting. In his congratulatory comments celebrating this milestone, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the importance of our exchange programs to a more peaceful, just and open world.

"When President Biden says that we will lead with diplomacy, this is also what he means - citizen diplomacy, like the kind you help foster every day. And that is fundamental to achieving so many of our foreign policy priorities - from revitalizing democracy at home and abroad, to revitalizing our alliances and partnerships."

Program Highlight!
"Hidden No More" - ​Empowering Women Leaders in STEM 

In a 2019 "first", World Partnerships was selected to host 8 of these women STEM education leaders from Argentina, Egypt, Estonia, Malta, Paraguay, South Africa, Vietnam and Zambia. Participants are “hidden talent” in their home countries who explore and advance policies that champion the interests of women in STEM.

As part of their program in Tampa Bay, these women leaders spent a morning at the Pinellas County Schools STEM Lab, hosted by the K-12 STEM Director Laura Spence. Dr. Michael Grego, Pinellas County Superintendent of Schools, made a surprise visit to the meeting and met with the group. The short video above was created by the PCS STEM Lab, and includes interviews with the IVLP participants.
